Blaithwaite House

A 250-acre Cumbrian estate that does proper tent camping alongside glamping pods, a barn bar, and a 25-acre dog-walking wood.

Blaithwaite House sits on a restored 250-acre estate between Wigton and the Lake District National Park boundary, roughly 25 minutes from Carlisle. The tent pitches are the real thing: grass, fires on hire, quiet hours from 11pm. Two distinct camping areas give you the choice between the main field and a smaller, quieter spot near the chickens and goats.

On-site life here is generous. The barn has a proper bar stocked with real ales and ciders. A pizza van parks up regularly. There are two play areas, a football pitch, mini golf, and a pair of cats who wander the site freely. Glamping pods and lodges with hot tubs sit separately from the camping areas, so the vibe for tent campers stays grounded rather than resort-like.

Dogs are actively welcome. A 25-acre woodland at the back of the house opens up as off-lead walking territory, which is rare and genuinely useful. The site is family-run, with consistently attentive staff called out in reviews. At around £30 a night for a tent pitch without hookup, it represents fair value for the facilities on offer.

Worth knowing: Blaithwaite also hosts weddings and events, so check the calendar before you book if you want a quieter weekend. The site is 15 minutes from a small town with a supermarket and local pub, and about 25 minutes from Carlisle for anything more substantial.

Before you book

Weddings and events are hosted on the estate, which can affect noise levels on certain weekends, so check the calendar when booking.

“A lively, well-run Cumbrian estate that earns its reputation through owner care and a genuinely dog-friendly woodland, with proper tent pitches alongside the glamping.”
